A Train Cycles, a builder that's local to me. Saw one of his non-lugged frames at an LBS - purty.

Which nashbar frame are you looking at?? I got the all-aluminum road frame for some ridiculous price like $60...it's actually a pretty good frame.

Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of. Its regular price is $99. I'm not going to pay double that for carbon stays. The plan is to use my old Rival derailleurs and crank with some 10-speed Campy shifters to see if I prefer their ergonomics over Shimano. That will direct what groupset goes on the BD Ti frame - Chorus/Athena mix or Ultegra.

That's good.
Next test: are you aware that the qualities that make for a good GF don't necessarily make for a good spouse and/or parent?? |

Cool. Just be aware, that frame runs a VERY short TT in the larger sizes. That's why I got it. But if you are tall with a long torso, your upper body might be cramped. The website has the geometry/dimensions. Also it does NOT include a fork. I got a cheap carbon one off of scambay.

Indeed. However, at the moment, I'd like a long-term girlfriend. Don't have to find a wife.

At least my cat is napping on my stomach right now. |

Lovers are great, but I'd like someone around during the day too. Someone to be at my races and go to the grocery store with.

Surely there must be a St. Patrick's Day parade in your town! Perhaps you could go rain on that...:-)

What are you worried about? That she doesn't want to be with you? Better to find out now instead of after 5yrs

According to Zinn, yes, the cable pulls are close or identical between SRAM and Campy 10-speed. Cheapest way to play with the thumb levers, and allows use of the scads of cheap Shimano rear wheels.

This stupid thread inspired a pretty good song I just wrote. It's called 'White Noise'.
I will try to get it on Soundcloud this weekend. You all remain idiots, and thank you. |

Racist title, though. |
Speaking of white noise, did y'all know that ENVE rims only cost about $25 each to produce?
